For steaming audio from a remote server, use AVPlayer instead of AVAudioPLayer. AVPlayer Documentation

Sample Code:

- (void)playSampleSong:(NSString *)iSongName {
    NSString *aSongURL = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"http://megdadhashem.wapego.ru/files/56727/tubidy_mp3_e2afc5.mp3"];
    // NSLog(@"Song URL : %@", aSongURL);

    AVPlayerItem *aPlayerItem = [[AVPlayerItem alloc] initWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:aSongURL]];
    AVPlayer *anAudioStreamer = [[AVPlayer alloc] initWithPlayerItem:aPlayerItem];
    [anAudioStreamer play];

    // Access Current Time
    NSTimeInterval aCurrentTime = CMTimeGetSeconds(anAudioStreamer.currentTime);

    // Access Duration
    NSTimeInterval aDuration = CMTimeGetSeconds(anAudioStreamer.currentItem.asset.duration);
}
